Electric scooters have gained popularity as a convenient mode of transportation in urban and campus settings. Boise State University, understanding the potential benefits of electric scooters for student mobility and campus accessibility, permits their use within its grounds. However, the university has established guidelines and policies to ensure safety and maintain orderly transit across the campus.

To maintain an environment conducive to safety and accessibility, Boise State University requires electric scooter users to adhere to specific rules which align with the city of Boise’s regulations governing the operation of such devices. Here are a few key points regarding the use of electric scooters on Boise State’s campus:

- Riders must follow all applicable laws and regulations, such as obeying traffic signals and signs, and riding with the flow of traffic.

- Scooters should be operated at speeds that are safe for the campus environment, taking into consideration the presence of pedestrians and other vehicles.

- Parking of electric scooters should be done in a manner that does not obstruct pedestrian pathways, building entrances, or disability access points.

The university aims to balance the convenience that electric scooters provide with the need to maintain a safe and accessible campus for all students, employees, and visitors.
